The end of episode four and the first half of episode five.

This season has gone back to basics, so expect things to ramp up now.

Gonna be really disappointed if there isn't a single camera continuous loop scene with Hays tracking a suspect through the woods Rambo style.

Also, 4 and 5 are the only ones directed by Pizza. Shame they couldn't get Fukunaga to do one, but at least he is an EP.

Agreed. They're either slow playing this one for the good stuff or it's just not gonna be as exciting as that one was. This season needs some more macabre elements to it and it looked like Ep 3 was setting that up with the chicken plant/church/Amelia threads.

I also think they're talking about Hays' tracking/hunting ability and Nam experience too much for it not to play out in some violence eventually.

what do we think about white cop? seems like a good dood but i'm wondering about his actual military background. several times now the show has made a point to highlight wayne's LRRP tracker training from nam & the white cop always showers wayne with praise and avoids/minimizes his own military experience (he says he worked on military cars or something). wondering is white cop actually was a green beret or something

Agree that white cop is force memeing Wayne's nam experience. Seems like a setup for something.

There have been several scenes where the white cop has professed a desire to help/protect Wayne. Military service is a means for the white bros to bond with the somewhat anti-social black bro. This is precisely how IRL people handled racism, especially in more rural settings, until the SJW shit took hold.

As a guy who grew up in a rural setting, E3 is doing an excellent job depicting the real nature of race relations back then in such places. Yes, it is present, but it was incredibly easy to overcome 99% of the time on an individual basis. The white cop wanting falling all over himself to take the hot WOC out to dinner is another good example of this.

TBF, Pizza deserves a lot of credit for the writing, as well. But MM delivered them in such a way as to transcend how good the writing was.

i think if you just had an actor who did the brooding noir thing it would have fallen flat and felt way overbaked. MM nailed it because he actually had an almost affectless, vacant presence. he actually projected in body language and tone of voice the behaviour of a traumatized person who thinks thoughts like that
